Abstract

A non-contact system and method is provided for effectively approximating the internal temperature of food being cooked upon a cooking surface of a cooking apparatus, such as a grill or griddle. Ultrasound or infrared, non-contact measurement devices may be directly installed onto the cooking apparatus, and in concert with a computerized monitoring/control system, are used to monitor the status of the food being cooked, or to control the heat input to the cooking surface using a feedback loop. The non-contact measurement devices may be permanently positioned above the cooking surface or may be mounted to arms that can be pivoted, or otherwise moved into position over the cooking surface.
